From the article as you posted it.
First two paragraphs:
At the start of the fall semester of my senior year of college, I was receiving the Eucharist every day. The problem was, I was not Catholic. I had begun attending daily Mass four months before, drawn less by the Catholic faith than by the soothing regularity of the liturgy. Whenever the host was administered, I went up with the rest of the parish and received it without a second thought.
But by September, I could no longer plead ignorance. I had begun to participate in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults and was learning about church doctrine and the theology of the sacraments, including how the Eucharist is the “source and summit of the Christian life.” I also learned that people were not supposed to take the Eucharist unless they had received first Communion. How could I live with this contradiction: breaking the rules of the very church I wanted to join? At the start of my senior year of college, I was taking the Eucharist every day. The problem was, I was not Catholic.
Now the article as it is written...first two paragraphs with the key omitted sentence in bold that mentions protestant.

Whenever the host was administered, I went up with the rest of the parish and received it without a second thought. I did not think there was a difference between Protestant communion and the Catholic Eucharist other than that one was administered more frequently than the other.

*****************
This is rather disingenuous attempt to manipulate an article for the sole reason of mis-using the caucus thread.
I was afraid I had posted it twice by accident, because I hit post hastily,m and twice (once before, and once after I had removed that line and intended to remove the Caucus) ---because FR went down for awhile.
I came back awhile later to see if FR was up again, and behold, the version was up with the omission AND the Caucus. So I thought "Well, leave well enough alone."
Feel free to ask the Mod to remove the Caucus.
Do not feel free to impute malice aforethought to someone who just makes dumb mistakes.
Do NOT continue to ping me to every comment you make.
